The ICTEA conference series was established to provide an opportunity for the professional development of scientists and engineers in the Middle East, including the Mediterranean, the Gulf and North African regions and to link them to their counterparts from Europe, Asia and America. The need for such development persists, despite the strong commitment of governments to improving undergraduate education and to building research capabilities in institutions of higher learning. Until recently, attracting highly motivated academic staff to advance research agendas and to make significant contributions to GDP growth were not among the top priorities. Thanks to the foresight of regional leaders, higher education in these regions is beginning to evolve. However, the fact remains that highly skilled scientists and engineers in the regions who are dedicated to research are often obliged to seek work abroad in academic and research institutions to further their professional development. This conference therefore, also serves as an opportunity for migrant scientists and engineers to network.

Thermal Engineering forms the core subject of this conference, as it serves as an umbrella title in its wider sense and when applied to particular research areas of interest to the regions, such as the environment, energy, petroleum, and construction, which have shaped the economic development of these regions. Two years ago, the conference was approved by Scopus, and the proceedings are now located at the Toronto Metropolitan University library as an open-access resource. The .
